2pm, Grandview Park. I bought a Thuggie just for the occasion, and may wear my Guy Fawkes mask as well. After all, his colour is what really targeted Trayvon, and behind a mask you can’t tell what colour we are: we are all, in that sense, Anonymous. It’s tragic that for black and First Nations people this would represent an increase in personal safety while for white people it represents a decrease.

It’s interesting how, down here (i.e. Michigan and the US of A) a hoodie somehow represents gangsterism and being, well, a hood. Out on the wetcoast of BC it’s just a practical and really popular piece of clothing. Ubiquitous on Vancouver Island, for example. Then again, Vancouver Island might just be the whitest place on earth…

I don’t know but will find out. Once again life conspired against me and I couldn’t make it, but there were friends of mine there and I’ll find out. Was he tall? How old was he? What was his race? I know a couple of guys it could have been.
